Hi Kevin...
MarkerTools is not so much of an "Indexing Solution" as it is a tool for
making it easier to work with markers.One of the most useful features is
the updated marker dialog that lets you select multiple markers (or all
markers in a file), and browse through them without needing to select
each marker individually. This dialog is big enough to see all of the
text in a marker, and in addition to many other features, lets you
insert Frame variables into markers. You can download a fully functional
version and try it for 30 days for free.
Cheers!

Hi all,
I'm at the indexing stage of a 400 page book for a product I hadn't worked with for about 3 years (so no memory of what I indexed before). The manual has also been totally restructured, and many features superseded by different ones. Now I'm looking at building the index, and the 'old', manual way is probably not going to work for me too well.
The minimum I'd like is to see index entries inline. Anything extra is gravy, but I'm not convinced I do need much extra, so if I can see and work with entries inline (a View option?) for cheap/free, I'd start there. But if I have to pay for this feature, can you all recommend a product that has the best combination of other, extra features for the price?
I've so far found:
http://www.fsatools.com/ - IXgen (comparatively more costly, lots of features, but would I use them all?)
http://www.leximation.com/tools/info/markertools.php - Leximation marker tools,
less costly, but I have more trouble seeing the usefulness of some of the
features
http://www.siliconprairiesoftware.com/Products.html -Silicon Prairie index
tools, cheapest, but doesn't seem to link directly into the frame marker
system, does some other kind of marker?
Anyway, I realize this is a regular question, so I do appreciate any time taken to send suggestions. Succinct, bulleted lists would be sufficient.
Thanks,
